Banana Nut Bread

Cold weather, rain, and gray skies leading up to thunderstorms and tornadoes. That pretty much describes a typical Spring day here in Iowa. One day the temperatures are in the upper 70’s, and the next day you might not even reach 40 degrees. Crazy weather calls for comfort food, like this delicious homemade Banana Nut Bread…..

The kind of Banana Nut Bread that our moms used to make without a mix! You might remember those Banana Daiquiris that I made last week, well I had a few too many bananas left over and I decided to put them to good use.

Yes, those bananas are pretty ugly, but that actually makes them sweeter…..so don’t throw them away! Mash them up and turn them into a delicious Banana Nut Bread that is perfect for snacks and quick breakfasts on the go. 😉

See, they are perfectly delicious on the inside. You know that old saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”? Well apparently it applies to bananas as well. 🙂

Stir in the finely chopped pecans {or walnuts} and pour into the prepared pan…..

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan before moving to a cooling rack…..

Allow to cool then slice and serve…..

Store the leftovers in a sealed container, or zipper top bag for up to three days…..assuming it lasts that long!!

My kiddos will purposely leave bananas on the counter to get brown, just so we can make banana bread! Btw, I heard y’all had some rough weather up in Eastern Iowa today- tornado season is never fun! Stay safe!!
